Change our politicians retirement to this, then watch it improve. The check is in the mail!! (This week) RETURN to top
These people have no desire to work for a living, but prefer to reap their wealth from others misfortune. Divorce lawyers, and other racketeering individuals are at the top of this list. If there is a buck to be found, they will dig it up. I don't think that this is what some of our finer institutions of higher education had in mind when they graduated these people, but as fate would have it, that is what they start the evolutionary chain as. After years of bilking society on a small scale they become more and more involved in Special Interest Groups (SIG) and transcend to the next level of absurdity, Politicians. Politicians really believe that they could help the cause and change the world. The only problem is that they keep us uninformed of what the cause really is, and the change will happen, even if it is for the worse for the average citizen, but laces the pockets of the SIG hierarchy. This brings into the picture the Extortionist, which in most cases is an analogy for any of the above mention people.
